Getting sober is not easy and many say the first 90 days are critical. This is a time when we are learning a whole new way of life and it can be very difficult and confusing. Celebrating milestones, whether it’s 24 hours, 30, 60, 90 days or years, helps us to see how far we have come and re-commit staying sober. Most recovery programs celebrate milestones by giving out a token (chip, keychain, etc.). This is helpful to the recipient and to others members of the group to see that long-term sobriety is possible.

On this episode of The Bubble Hour, we will talk about how celebrating milestones has helped us with our recovery and some of the special things we have done to celebrate.

Life is vibrant when we consciously engage with four concepts: FOCUS, BALANCE, PRODUCTIVITY, and FULFILLMENT.

The first three concepts are easily grasped.

We know that our lives should have meaning and purpose. We know that our lives need a sense of balance. We know that we must get things done.

What I believe is the biggest challenge is seriously comprehending the need for celebrating and fulfillment. Feeling fulfilled is key to refueling our lives so that we have the necessary energy to focus once more and seek balance in pursuit of being productive.

Join Nicole Greer, PPCC for insight into how you can create greater fulfillment through milestones, markers, and monuments that celebrate your accomplishments.

Tonight on "It's Real Talk Radio", Miss Behave & Jay Styles come together for a second time to collaborate on another motherhood show. The first was successful so of course this was inevitable. The topic of discussion is Milestones and the question is: "Does your child measure up?"

When you have children, you will find that there is a universal guideline for what milestones your child should be hitting. For instance, at 6 months old, normally your child is ready for solids. We all know that every child is unique & develops differently, but sometimes our expectations are set a little high for an infant or toddler while other times expectations tend to be set too high, so it's all about the proper balance to save you and your child a lot of headaches.

Tonight Miss Behave & Jay Styles will be breaking it all down so make sure you don't miss out and if you have a question or comment you'd like to share, feel free to call in. The Call-in # is 347-838-9540 just remember to press 1 if you want to be brought on air.

The Chicago Bears added two defensive ends to their roster on Tuesday. One of them may be a distraction to a team that had locker room issues last season. The Blackhawks bounced back from an ugly loss to the Dallas Stars over the weekend with a 3-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes Monday night, thanks to the continued strength of Corey Crawford in net. Jonathan Toews and Coach Joel Quenneville both hit career milestones with the win. The Bulls clinched a playoff spot with their over the Charlotte Hornets Monday night, with rookie Nikola Mirotic again leading the way with solid minutes off the bench. Joakim Noah has been playing the point-center position very well in Derrick Rose's absence. Should Tom Thibodeau think about using Noah to run the offense when Derrick returns? Plus, my bracket for the NCAA tournament is still alive, but certainly not perfect. I'll give a preview of two of the upcoming Sweet 16 matchups. All this and your phonecalls! (347) 327-9183.

Weddings and graduations are milestones in the lives of many individuals across the world. It is the beginning of a new stage in life and an ending to another. How can one handle the joy and the pain of the transition is the question to be answered.

For this show, I will open with a tribute to The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes (Virgil Runnels), who passed away this past week. The list of topics is long and I will do my best to do justice to numerous stories that are in the news or events that have reached milestones in history.

The list includes my beloved St. Louis Cardinals being investigated by the Feds, opening weekend for Global Force Wrestling, the 35th anniversary of the opening of The Blues Brothers movie and the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta document.
